💅 igc_clear_hw_cntrs_base — from the Kernel API Manual, bestie 🎀

Okay so like, welcome to the <pink>Kernel API Manual</pink> page for igc_clear_hw_cntrs_base(9) — yes the (9) is giving "kernel internals, don't @ me" energy and we love that for us. Sit down, grab a strawberry drink 🍓, and let's get into it.

✨ NAME ✨

igc_clear_hw_cntrs_base — clears the base hardware counters. That's it. That's the whole vibe. It resets those little number-go-up counters back to zero ⭐

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

void igc_clear_hw_cntrs_base (struct igc_hw *hw );

Lowkey that's the entire signature, no cap. It returns void, so don't go looking for a return value bestie, there isn't one 💀

---

🦋 ARGUMENTS 🦋

• hw — pointer to the HW structure (struct igc_hw). Like, it's the hardware struct, the main character of this whole function, and you gotta hand it over 👑

---

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

So here's the tea ☕: this function clears the base hardware counters — and the way it does it is by reading the counter registers. That's the mechanic, that's the move. You read 'em, they get cleared. Iconic, honestly. The hardware ate and left no crumbs 🔥

No cap, that's literally all it does. But when you need those counters zeroed, you need them zeroed, and igc_clear_hw_cntrs_base is the one to call 🫶
